Or never visited Ireland. Take your pick.

I think St. Pat definitely visited.

Being of Oirish heritage, always used to order 2 pints of Guinness, one for me, one for my dad (who's no longer here). But last few years, as it became themed with silly hats and wankers who can't hold their ale, I do it on his birthday instead.

Happy St Pat's day to you all

Psst...whisper it quietly... St. George never slew that dragon.

Did he not kill the last one, making them extinct?

Aaah Paddy's Day. A day where thousands of non Irish celebrate a bloke who got rid of some snakes.

He was also English who was captured by the Irish and put into slavery

Ewe know what I mean.

No need to ram home the point.

Welsh, I think.

Pretty sure he was Welsh, unless they kidnapped him first.

Welsh, I think.

There a few different theories on this. Most historians accept he was born from English -Roman parents and they lived in or near what is Chester now which I think in the 6th century was part of Wales.

His family seemed to have definitely travelled around North Wales and maybe even lived in the Snowdonia area but nobody can be 100% sure

He was kidnapped in a pub in Holyhead and brought back on the ferry.
